Rheumatoid Arthritis
The most common symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis are pain, swelling and stiffness around the joints, and reduced energy levels and a feeling of fatigue. These symptoms can lead to lower mobility, caused by discomfort and a lower motivation to exercise and move around.
As the severity of rheumatoid arthritis can vary greatly from day to day, your quality of life can be significantly improved with welfare aids which give you the option of taking the stairs or a lift, for example.
At Liftup Inc., our goal is to create equal opportunities for all by developing dignified aids, not machines. We understand what living with a disability feels like, and on this page, we will show you some of the aids we have designed to make it easier to cope with rheumatoid arthritis.
Liftup North America, Inc. welfare aids make living with rheumatoid arthritis easier
Yet there is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis, but with early diagnosis and treatment, the effects can be greatly reduced. Muscle-strengthening and aerobic exercises, and a carefully controlled diet can help to ease pain and reduce joint stiffness, and a physiotherapist and dietician can advise the best exercise and diet plan for you.
Welfare aids can also help to make living with rheumatoid arthritis easier in the home and workplace. Since our partent corporation's founding in 2003, Liftup A/S has become the market leader in assistive welfare technology aids and was awarded the Danish Industry’s national Initiative Award in 2017.
An important aspect of learning to live with rheumatoid arthritis is finding the right balance between exercise and rest. Our welfare aids, which include lifts and lifting aids, will help you in your daily life with rheumatoid arthritis. We know that living with rheumatoid arthritis can be a daily challenge and at Liftup North America, Inc. our mission is to design and develop welfare aids to help improve your mobility and access around your living and working spaces.
Liftup North America, Inc. lifts can help you to live with rheumatoid arthritis
A Liftup North America, Inc. lift can help you to move safely between levels in your home if your mobility is impaired by joint pain or fatigue. The FlexStep quickly transforms from a standard staircase to a platform lift, to give you easy access between shorter height distances. This practical, 2-in-1 solution can be adapted to fit any home, workplace or public building. It has many built-in safety features and is robustly made to give years of risk-free operation. Importantly, as rheumatoid arthritis affects your mobility differently from day to day, a FlexStep gives you the choice of using the stairs with a handrail or using it as a platform lift.
The FlexStep is a elegant lifting platform that can help people with rheumatoid arthritis and wheelchair users to move safely between levels. When you first see its elegant design and how easily it blends in to its surroundings you will know it has been designed by architects with a deep understanding of the constraints of living with rheumatoid arthritis.
